Car Men is a collaboration between the renowned choreographer Jíri Kylían and filmmaker Boris Paval Conen. Based on the opera 'CARMEN' by Georges Bizet they shot a hilarious and poetic short film in the destroyed landscape of a Czech brown coal mine. The actors in this film are older dancers from Kylían's troupe (around 50 years old) and the main prop is a 'TATRA 87', a famous car from 1937.

In this nostalgic and yet dramatic documentary, choreographer Jiří Kylián creates a final work for his lifelong partner Sabine, a deeply personal performance that celebrates love, creation, and the ephemeral nature of life.
